AfterBacksplash, Tile & Flooring in Dallas, TX
Backsplash, tile, and flooring work in Dallas runs anywhere from $1,200 for a simple kitchen backsplash to $40,000+ for whole-home flooring replacement, with most kitchen tile projects landing between $4,000 and $12,000. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas handles the full scope: cabinets, countertops, and ceramic and porcelain backsplashes, natural stone feature walls, floor tile for kitchens and mudrooms, and the prep work underneath that determines whether the finished surface still looks right five years later. Every job gets a written price before the first tile is set, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (940) 204-5368 for a free estimate.
This work sits inside our broader Kitchen Remodeling service, but you don’t need a full remodel to get it done. A lot of Dallas homeowners call us for a backsplash refresh, a kitchen floor that’s finally giving out, or tile that was installed wrong the first time and never looked quite right. We’re glad to take those standalone jobs. The same written guarantee applies whether we’re setting forty square feet of subway tile or redoing every floor on the first level.
If you’ve been burned before by a contractor who gave you a verbal number and then changed it after demo day, you’ll find we operate differently. Trevor Nash runs Penhallow Remodeling Dallas under The Kingswell Way, the operating standard that’s governed this family of companies since 2004: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it. That’s not a slogan. It’s the minimum.
When You Need Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Some of these are obvious. Some are the quiet signs that get ignored until a small problem becomes a floor replacement. Here’s what we see across Dallas neighborhoods like Lake Highlands, Preston Hollow, and East Dallas:
- Your existing backsplash is cracking, staining, or falling off behind the sink. A cracked tile isn’t just cosmetic. Water gets behind it, sits against the drywall, and before long you’ve got mold or crumbling substrate.
- Kitchen floor tile is loose, chipped, or has grout lines that crumble when you sweep. Movement in tile means the substrate underneath failed. New tile on top of a bad substrate is a redo waiting to happen.
- You bought a house built in the 80s or 90s and the tile is original. Dallas has thousands of homes from that era, and the tile work often shows it: builder-grade ceramic, dated patterns, grout that’s gone gray no matter how much you scrub it.
- You’re renovating the kitchen anyway and want tile done right the first time. If cabinets are coming out and countertops are being replaced, the backsplash and floor should be planned as part of the same scope, not bolted on later.
- Water damage has already done its work. Buckled floor boards near the dishwasher or sink, swollen baseboards, tile that’s lifted. The tile swap is the finish work; the repair underneath is what actually matters.
- You’re preparing to sell and the kitchen reads “tired.” In Dallas real estate, a dated backsplash and worn floor drag down offers. Buyers notice these surfaces before they notice anything else in the kitchen.
If any of these sound like your kitchen, start with a phone call: (940) 204-5368. We’ll ask a few questions, give you a straight answer about what we think you’re looking at, and schedule a visit if it makes sense. The estimate is free.
Our Backsplash, Tile & Flooring Process
We keep this simple. You’ll know the price before we start, the window we’ll arrive in, and what happens if something goes wrong after we leave. Here’s how a typical job goes:
- Phone call and a few questions. You reach a live person, any hour, not a voicemail. We ask about the room, the square footage, the current surface, and what you’re trying to fix or achieve.
- In-person visit and measurement. One of our background-checked, uniformed technicians comes out, measures, inspects the existing substrate and subfloor, and talks through options. No pressure, no pitch.
- Written price, in your hand. You get a written number. Not a range, not a ballpark, not a “we’ll see once we open it up.” The number on day one is the number on the invoice.
- Prep done correctly. We remove the old surface, inspect what’s underneath, and install proper cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) where needed for wet areas. We don’t tile over rot, water damage, or loose old work. If we find a problem, we show you and we tell you what it costs to fix before we touch it.
- Tile set, grouted, sealed. We set, level, space, grout, and seal according to the material’s spec. Then we clean the job site. You shouldn’t find a single tile shard or dust film when the crew leaves.
- Written guarantee and follow-up. Every job includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call, no re-inspection fee.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring Pricing in Dallas
Most backsplash jobs in Dallas run $1,200 to $5,000. Most kitchen floor tile installations run $2,500 to $9,000, depending on square footage and material. If you’re combining a backsplash, floor tile, and a bathroom or mudroom floor in one scope-or want to explore full kitchen remodeling-expect $8,000 to $18,000. Whole-home flooring replacement on a typical Dallas single story can reach $25,000 to $40,000.
Here’s what actually drives the cost up or down:
| Line Item | Typical Range (Dallas) | What Moves the Number |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen backsplash (ceramic or porcelain) | $1,200 – $3,500 | Square footage, layout complexity, tile price per sq ft |
| Kitchen backsplash (natural stone, glass, or mosaic) | $3,000 – $6,000 | Material cost, slower install, custom cuts |
| Kitchen floor tile (standard ceramic/porcelain) | $2,500 – $6,000 | Floor size, current floor removal, subfloor condition |
| Kitchen floor tile (stone or large-format) | $5,000 – $10,000+ | Material weight, substrate requirements, labor intensity |
| Substrate or subfloor repair (if needed) | $400 – $2,500 | Water damage extent, floor leveling, framing issues |
| Whole-home tile or flooring replacement | $18,000 – $40,000+ | Total square footage, material tier, furniture handling, timeline |
Dallas homes built before roughly 1985 often have pier-and-beam foundations, which means floors flex more than slab-on-grade construction. That affects substrate choice. We’ll explain that when we visit. What we won’t do is surprise you with a higher number after the work begins. The written price covers what we said it covers. That’s The Kingswell Way.
If you’re deciding between repairing what you have and replacing it, call (940) 204-5368. We’ll give you an honest read. Sometimes a simple regrout and reseal buys you five more years. Sometimes it doesn’t. We’ll tell you which one you’re in.
FAQs – Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
How much does a kitchen backsplash cost in Dallas?
A kitchen backsplash in Dallas typically costs $1,200 to $3,500 for standard ceramic or porcelain, and $3,000 to $6,000 for natural stone, glass, or mosaic tile. For projects that include cabinet installation and refacing, we’ll coordinate every trade so finishes line up perfectly. Square footage is the biggest variable, followed by tile cost per square foot. Call (940) 204-5368 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Can you install tile the same week I call?
We can usually start most backsplash and tile jobs within one to two weeks of your approved written estimate, depending on current scheduling. Emergency water-damage flooring repair gets priority. Call (940) 204-5368 and we’ll tell you exactly what our calendar looks like.
Is it cheaper to regrout or replace tile?
Regrouting and resealing is typically cheaper, running $500 to $1,800 for an average kitchen floor, compared to $2,500 to $9,000 for replacement. But regrouting only works if the tile is still bonded and the substrate is intact. If tiles move, the repair won’t last. We’ll inspect and tell you straight, and the visit is free.
What does your 365-Day Done Right Promise cover?
The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship on every tile, backsplash, and flooring job we install for one full year from completion. If something fails inside that window, we come back and fix it at no charge, no service call and no re-inspection fee. It’s written into every contract.
